Anytime I see an Interview with Mr. Jim Fuller, I watch it at least 2x to learn....He and Marc Krebs are AK legends .....

Fuller knows his stuff! Wish I had the coin to have him build me one. Lucky enough in State of Hawaii to own two Bulgarians one in 556 and another in 762. Also bought a Vepr 12 from a private party way back in the day. Type 56 would be holy grail to own as well

In my opinion the AK is the Mauser of modern firearms. I cant think of a more ingenious ,modern design. I do not know of another weapon platform that can still function half assembled or broke.

@@yrsued Soviet doctrine only required a 300 yard/meter accuracy against a man sized target. Some can go further as discussed in the video. It fulfills the doctrine. Ammunition is important as well as build can effect accuracy.

@ogdadbod Год назад

On making a NATO AK reliable, would changing to STANAG mags help? I’m assuming the reliability issues have more to do with the taper of the case than anything. Also Jim has referred to NATO AKs as having issues due to higher pressure cartridges? Is this due to 5.56? 223 has a max psi of 55k while 5.45 is around 52k

@yrsued Год назад

I will have to ask him the next time we have a sit down!! Those questions are good for the next meet.

Russian 5.56 magazine is as reliable as 5.45 mags.

@hairydogstail Год назад

The knowledge to build a reliable AR is not a lego set lol.. You need correct chamber gauges, function gauges, pin gauges etc. The most false narrative being spewed in the gun world is the AR is a lego set. By the way, the Browning 50 cal machine gun and the FN 240 are also stamped guns used by the US military..

@yrsued Год назад

OK, have you ever built an AK??? NOT THE SAME!!!

@alphaomega9255 Год назад

Well AK building requires rivits and presses Ect whereas AR with correct specd parts can be put together with hand tools and a vice. I’m an AR guy myself but the AK definitely is harder to build and less accurate afterwards too, lol

@yrsued Год назад

@@alphaomega9255 Very much so!! Once you accurize an AK, don't mess with it!!

@hairydogstail Год назад

@@alphaomega9255 Depends on the AK. Milled receivers with a threaded barrel need few rivets as does the M-16. Good luck finding AR parts that are correctly specked. I see lower receivers from the same manufacturer that have different and out of spec tolerances, let alone parts from different manufacturers . If you had the proper gauges, tools and knowledge you would know this. AR rifle parts need to fit into established tolerances or they are just a cobbled together toy..It takes more tools to properly build an AK, but they also have looser tolerances than a properly built AR requires..Apple-oranges, but the AR is not a lego set, if you wish to build a proper one..
